+Health and Human Services (HHS) is a federal agency, but many crucial HHS programs — like Medicaid — are administered by states.
+
+HHS encourages states to reduce technology risks by offering funding incentives for upgrading legacy systems — but many states struggle to implement current best practices in software contracts, especially while navigating federal and state contracting rules. HHS hired 18F to step in and help states set these projects up for success.
+
+### Reducing risk by breaking up contracts
+
+In our first project with HHS, we helped California get on the right path to buying a new system for child welfare case management by facilitating a two-day workshop to break an overwhelming contract into smaller pieces (along with people from California’s Department of Social Services, the Office of Systems Integration, HHS, and Code for America).
+
+Next, HHS asked us to work with other states on similar projects to procure case management systems for child welfare programs. We also began applying what we learned to a new challenge: working with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Systems (also within HHS) to support states who were upgrading Medicaid data systems.
